Saturday 9 : Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

I am sorry for my late entry, it is just I am so exhausted last night and my body aches a lot, I don't know why waiting for my daughter to finish her swimming lesson causes my body pains while I was not the one who swim so hard and tried to break my time. LOL

Anyway, here's my entry for:



1. Have you ever been in a situation with a lover where you did not know what tomorrow would bring?

So so

2. What worries you most today?

That my daughter will going to have a muscle cramp due to her training yesterday, it was all worth it though, her coach suggested that if she does, I will just bring her to the pool and let her swim for like 30 mins.

3. Could I tell if you were lying to me?

Nope

4. What do you miss most about the 80s?

My parents

5. What's going on that you can't understand?

Why life is unfair

6. How would I know if you liked me?

You won't know

7. If you ever won an award, what would you want it to be for?

The best Mom award

8. What would we be surprised to know that you've done?

Uhmmm

9. What’s the most exotic mixed drink you remember trying? Did you enjoy it?

Nope

Time For Leaf Cleanup

Autumn is a beautiful part of the year when the colors of the leaves change. The oranges, yellows, reds and browns are really beautiful. But what happens to the leaves when they dry out? The fall and leave a big mess to clean up. Well you can rake them or use a leaf blower. Electric or gas, they make the cleanup easier, echo blowers are one maker and there are others. But you want to have a good one to do the job. Depending on where you live and how many and what kind of trees there are will really determine how difficult your leaf cleanup job will be. The kids can have fun jumping in the leaves after they fall, but they are a nuisance if you are trying to have a nice green lawn the year round.

Landslides and Floods

It is so sad to know that when we are so contented in our home while it’s raining outside, perhaps, others are sleeping so hard in their comfy bed, some of the people out there are struggling to survive because of the landslides. I didn't expect it happens some of our towns here in our place. 20 houses were washed away due to heavy rain few days ago in DDF Village, Mandug Davao City. The river water level went high thus the affected families were immediately evacuated. There were landslides occurs also in Pantukan due for following rains at night, the local government gave to the affected families at least P 5,000 and evacuated them to the safer grounds.

One Gift I Would Buy For Him

My husband had so many plans when he retires and that includes of buying a house in Australia or Netherland but if our funds are not enough maybe a house here would do. He plans to put up a business as well, for me and our kids. I always thank my husband for putting us, his priority, for providing us, and for supporting us. That is why I thought of some personalized retirement gifts I would buy for him; I won’t tell what it is yet, since I would like to surprise him when that time comes. I know my gift could not pay him enough of the goodness he did for us, but I am sure we are his reason enough for him of his contentment and happiness.

Mommy Moments : Black and White

Shall I show you the pictures below for my entry in today's theme for Mommy Moments?

This is my eldest daughter wearing her swim suit at the pool; my niece was the one who took this picture when she visited her one day at the venue.

She represented as one of the angels at school in commemorating of Mother Mary's day.


Here's my little tea pot, trying to carry my black bag even though it was a bit heavy for her and with her swimming lesson recently together with her coach who wears black swim suit at that time.

Wearing her white gown for her christening with her Dad, Now the baby is becoming a lady wearing my sunglass matches with her white shirt. Oh where did the time goes by?

To Make Your Skin Clean and Treated

Acne is a problem for adolescents and even some adults. Acne can be unsightly and even painful. Often it causes embarrassment among teenagers. After all, who wants to have unsightly “zits.” Not only can acne affect the face, it can occur on you back. Treatments for acne may differ. It is just as important to seek back acne treatment as it is to treat acne on visible parts of your body such as your face. Back acne can cause those infected to have problems getting comfortable when lying down and it is very uncomfortable. I hope you don’t need it but if you have acne, whether it is on your back or elsewhere, make sure you keep your skin as clean and get it treated.

I am Glad She Does Not Have Fever

I thought F has a fever because last night when I touch her forehead she was a bit hot. She feels like she was whining over something when she wakes up in the morning and when she wanted to get up she can't because her eyes closed. When I was at the gym already I called her up to check if she really have a fever, I was relieved when my sister told me she was okay and that after she bathe her, she was back to herself again.

It was proved when we went home here just a while and my little tea pot is in her dreamland, playing with her sweet friend angels.

Dislike Button in FB

My cousin was amazed on Sunday night when she found out that FB has already a dislike button. She was using my mini laptop when she knows it, my niece immediately checked on her FB in my other laptop, we were confused. I was like maybe it depends on the computer you are using.

The next morning, when my sister arrived, she then confirmed the changes in FB and the pop up pictures. We opened again the mini laptop but it was not there anymore, the pop up pictures, the dislike button are no longer there. So we were wondering if that would only appear in selected time, geez!

Is It True?

My sister just told me that there is no Internet tomorrow to give way the Good Friday. She said it is in the news, I wonder if it is true? Do you hear the same news as well?

Well, I don't have problem with that, as a devoted Catholic, it is our responsibility to show some respect of the things He has done for us. And that our presence and time should only be with him, anyway, this happens only for one day compared to those days you spent on your computer or doing some online business. I guess it won't take much of our time to pray or to join the way of the cross; at least if you can't do some penitence, do your best not to be online during Good Friday.

That is why I am here trying to finish my Adgitize and EC dropping thus tomorrow morning I will no longer do this thing at all. I might update my blog in the evening.

Fees on Holy Wednesday

Finally I was able to pay my SSS contributions this morning, I supposed to pay my Pag Ibig insurance but when I get there geez the numbers are not moving so I decided to just go out and went to the gym to finish the Meme. When I was there in Pag Ibig, I realized I also need to pay my Phil Health but since the government will have a half day today, I decided to just pay for it on Monday.

On the other note, the PLDT bill of our neighbor was delivered already last Monday; I wonder why mine does not come up yet. I hope they are not late of sending those bills so I can budget it ahead of time. Anyway have a nice Holy Wednesday everyone!

Brewed Coffee Anyone?

I did not have enough sleeps last night; I was at first watching my favorite drama series in TV before blogging. The scene is getting so exciting and suspense since Jerome and Angela saw each other, Angela thought it was really Jerome but Jerome pretended he is not, instead he showed it to them that he is Chan Jung Wong.

After I watched Green Rose, I immediately updated some of my blogs and EC dropping as well. All in all I only have almost 5 hours of sleep then I have to wake up early in the morning to chat with my husband, to prepare our breakfast then send Jm to the gym.

Now, here I am at their canteen trying to open my eyes so wide, if only I could put a stick in my eyes to stay it open, I already have done that. On that note, I must order a coffee for me to stay awake, sad to say but they don't have any other flavor but a brewed coffee, well this helps me to stay awake the whole day, definitely brewed coffee had a strong flavor than of those sweet flavored coffee.

Brewed coffee anyone?

Ankle Braces During A Period of Recovery

If you have ever played any sports that require running and jumping, whether they are organized or with just friends, you may have twisted or sprained your ankle. My husband has told me that he has sprained his several times playing basketball, baseball and football. Well one thing that he has learned that ankle support, such as ankle braces, can help support your ankles during a period of recovery and if the proper type is worn while playing sports, they may even help prevent an injury. From elastic bandages to wrap the ankle to a rigid walking brace, ankle braces can help speed recovery from injury.

Enrolling For Driving Lesson

Anyway highway, soon I will enroll myself for Driving Lessons instead of the culinary arts, at least for Driving Lessons it is only 4,990.00 unlike the latter it is 297,000! Yay, but they had cheaper price though and that's for summer but the problem is it is for kids. I almost told them I am a kid and I like to enroll for summer, they might believe because of my height, what do you think? Hehehe

On the other note, I will use my vacant time to learn how to drive that would be next week after the Holy Week, wish me all the stars and luck folks! Yay!

One Brand I Would Consider

One of my favorite things to blog about (other than the kids) is how I want my house to look. I have blogged about choosing furniture and window treatments and even paint. Now I want to write a bit about linens. I want bedroom linen that will make us feel cool in the summer and warm in the winter and yet be durable and hold their stylish clean appearance. There are many kinds and grades of linens based on the number of threads per inch just like the matouk linens, it is one brand I am considering. Whether I buy bedroom sheets and blankets or towels and curtains for the bathroom and shower, there is a lot to choose from.

If its for us

I am starting to save for that car; somebody deals it with me last week. Since my husband just paid his tax last week, we asked the owner if we could make a down payment then the full payment will be later, I hoped we can do that this week. But with what I have now, it is still not enough yet for the payment we agreed on.

My husband paid the huge amount of money for his tax yet he is doing his best to produce the money that I told him. If only I had a job right now I could help him with the expenses but I only depend from the earnings I can get from my blog. It is such a wrong timing because chances are so slim nowadays; I don't have that much task since last week and the other week. Yet I am still hoping I could earn fewer weeks from now. God would provide I know, if the car is intended for us then it will.

Mommy Moments : Recent Birthday Photos

mommy moments

I celebrated my birthday this year in a pool; I was with my sister's family and cousin at that time. It was actually unplanned, my sister just showed up in our house and greeted me happy birthday she opened the idea of going to the pool right away to celebrate my natal day.


This was taken before my birthday, my friend and I celebrated it together

It was a simple celebration for Jm's birthday but she had so much fun. I just ordered the biggest pizza from Calda and delivered it to her classroom. There were two boxes so that really accommodates the whole class plus the teachers.



We held the celebration of F's birthday in Garden Oases Hotel but it looks like it was my eldest daughter's birthday because almost of the kids there are her friends.



Mama, I want to go to the pool

My youngest daughter cried so hard this morning when sister Merlyn has to go out to send Jm to her activity. She was telling me to get all her stuff for swimming so she could go to her swimming session but today was decided to be a break from her activity and so I could stay inside the house and relax. F was so mad, she sobbed so hard and tried to drag me outside the house, I felt pity for her and I said sorry. In a little while, she was playing and watching her favorite ABC in a DVD.

Next month, she would be going to school for summer class, we will try to enroll her before she would face a real school this coming school year. I hope she would behave her best and would listen to her teacher.

I hope it will not give me a headache

A person just deal me a second hand car today, I knew this person as a very expert in engines and stuff since had an auto shop for so many years now. So I really trust him with cars, especially second hand units. The one he deals me is so affordable, I like it and I asked him about the maintenance and the capacity of the car. He said that the engine works great, although this car is an old model. I really want to own it but of course I have to wait for my husband's approval and the money he would wire me for this unit. I just hope that the car will not give me a headache once I pay the owner.

Now This Is Really Summer

It has been days that the sky is so gloomy and it rains so hard during night time. But today, it is so hot. I just hope that it won't rain at night time, because surely this would cause some allergies and sickness especially to the kids. And the flood goes everywhere in town, thus it is hard to commute when it rains, even the taxi would say no when your destination is too far.

Sunday is for my Family

Now that got too many blogs to update, I guess I need also a break. So it has been approved by the admin, that's me, that I would spend my Sunday not in blogging but for my kids. I am not saying that I don't spend my time with them, it is just even on Sunday I am blogging and when I am finished I feel so tired already.

There are times that I would cancel our escapade outside because I feel so exhausted and I need some rest so starting this week, on Sunday no more updates for me, so the comment will be under moderation until Monday. If you write a comment on Sunday, I will be reading that on Monday yet. I might just do the adgitizing since I place an ad there and that's it. Of course, while I am chatting with my husband, I will also do some clicking.

Join the Team

I am not sure how many payments I received from adgitize since the day I subscribe. All I know is that they paid me the right amount plus they also gave me amount of traffic. Today, they paid me again although I am a bit sad because it would only take like how many days and my advertisement for this blog will be expired.

Anyway, if you want to try the adgitizing you might want to click the badge below. I assure you, you will not regret once you join the team.

Adgitize your web site.

Summer Plans

mommy moments

As summer starts here in the Philippines, many kids are going to the swimming pool or beaches to have some fun. It is summer and we supposed to wake up so late but we just can’t do that, my eldest daughter had to wake up so early for her swimming practice. So our plan for summer is to sleep early so we can wake up early, I have to get up ahead of her so I could prepare for our breakfast then take a shower. I would talk to my husband online for just a short time then I would wake up Jm to eat her breakfast and to prepare her things.

Since my youngest daughter adores water as well, I also enrolled her for a learn to swim program nears in our place. She knows how to float now and do some bubbles but she doesn’t like to kick. I don’t know why she loves to float herself than kicking. LOL


Here they are, Jm trying to teach her sister to bubbles

And here they going under water for how many minutes

This is the video of F floating on her back

One year had passed

Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday we are celebrating Christmas and New Year and now summer time just kicked in. It is sometimes hard to believe that the time just flies so fast at that, I wanted to hold on the good things from the past but we have to move on even how we longed to stay when you are just so happy and gaily. I am not saying I don't love my life now, I do but what I am saying is that, how I wish to freeze those days when my husband is here, we could have share more laughter’s and cheers but he has to go back to the states and settle those things. It has been a year since we saw each other, I haven't notice it maybe because we are always chatting everyday. But a year had passed and sad to say we are still apart, as to when we will be together I do not know. What I am holding right now is his promise and our vows in front of the altar that no matter what happens, our love will be forever.

My New Stuff Toys Counter

Last week my newly bought stuff toys counter was delivered. I immediately put our stuff toys that were just scattered on our floor. Finally, it has its own place now, me and Jm arranged it properly, then we also done a revamp of our living room, we change our curtain then we rearranged our couch to different corners.

My new little stuff toys display cabinet
The curtain, it's not new but at least it is newly wash

I am actually looking for blinds now for our window, since curtain nowadays are so thick and has some styles that will not be easily wash by a washing machine. Sometimes after it was laundry, there are some buttons damaged or the styles were ruined.

Brownout!

We were surprised when we arrived home tonight from swimming, our area have electricity outage, oh well partly because when I called my brother in law to asked him if they have electricity, he said they don't have electricity outage. I wonder what's the reason behind this. I hope it would be back soon.
